Mattson Mini Modular

Mattson Mini Modular is the work of George Mattson.

30 years ago George developed and manufactured a performance oriented analog synthesizer called the Syntar. The Syntar was innovative at the time, met with limited success and has recently become a topic of conversation in a variety of synthesizer forums.

Due to the growing abundance of new, analog synthesizer enthusiasts, George was asked to return to manufacturing.

George took the core circuits of the Syntar (thus, the Phoenix Series) and designed a new format; a portable, true analog modular synthesizer specifically budgeted for the new market.

His design philosophy was to come up with a system that eliminated the majority of the “flash” or costly cosmetics that have no bearing on the actual function of the system. According to George, "I figured that people want to play with the instrument, not necessarily stare at it."
